just gonna overclock a little, to 733 core, 933mem, 1750 shaders. yea i know about prnt scrn, just figured what the heck since i was taking other pics lol. i wish there was an app for uploading images to TPU from an android phone.

Got the gpu all cleaned up and put some heatsinks on the memory and vrms.

had to remove a few due to clearance and placed thermal pads instead (they contact the base of the cooler) and put the thermal paste on... some of these heatsinks ended up falling off though... they don't stay on very well. I'm sure the fans will keep stuff cool though.

Wasn't much to that part, just 4 screws pretty much, and some pad thingys.

Installed in the case... this thing is a beast! 3 slots!

Well I've had the comp powered on and running Folding @ Home for a while now... about to upload some screen shots. The "Max Temp" with the stock cooler was recorded while running Folding @ Home. I think you'll be impressed by the results.

Alright here are the results!

That's a difference of 47 degrees F! Not bad for $16. I kept the clocks at 700, 925, 1733. Any benchmarks I should run?

If I remember its like 1.2-1.25v to run 800 core on air... As1 air cooler

800mhz eh? well it is a 65nm part not 90nm like the other 8xxx series so I guess it wouldn't be an issue. That should boost PPD a bit too! How would I go about modding the voltage and how would I figure out its power usage at that setting? I haven't really modded video cards much aside from cooling.

Not off but turned down. Before I'd keep it on until my case temps reached around 68F, now my case temp is around 80F. I would turn it off... but my room gets pretty toasty... the sun beams on my window from sunrise to about 3-4pm or so lol

well i bumped the core speed to 733 and shaders to 1800mhz. I'll leave it there for now since i don't know the stock voltage and its my only decent gpu... right now folding@home seems ok with it. I'll run benchmarks later
